CONTEXT The legal and social sequelae of interpreting genital findings as indicative of sexual abuse are significant. While the absence of genital trauma does not rule out sexual abuse, the physical examination can identify genital findings compatible with sexual abuse. OBJECTIVES To determine the diagnostic utility of the genital examination in prepubertal girls for identifying nonacute sexu...

In 1971, not only the theoretical and by definition already existing 'ideal memristor' concept was introduced, but a real memristor device was suggested on grounds of the already known real inductors. The latter is a scientifically significant hypothesis grounded in fundamental symmetries of basic physics, here electro-magnetism. 2008 claimed the discovery of the "missing memristor." Controvers...

Using the recently introduced universal computing model, called orchestrated machine, that represents computations in a dissipative environment, we consider a new kind of interpretation of Turing’s Imitation Game. In addition we raise the question whether the intelligence may show fractal properties. Then we sketch a vision of what robotic cars are going to do in the future. Finally we give the...

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether high estimates of the burden of depression could be attributed to an overestimation of disability weights (reflecting more severe disability). METHODS We derived disability weights that were tailored to prevalence data. Empirical disability data from a Dutch community survey was used to describe three classes of severity of depression and their proportional pr...

"adipocere" we only find one publication which speaks of this change being observed in a warm country, i.e., " Eight cases of Saponification " by S. C. Mackenzie (.Indian Medical Gazette, 1889, XXIV, p. 42). The author was Police Surgeon at Calcutta, and claimed that during 9 years lie observed 8 cases of adipocere-formation in bodies of persons drowned in the Hooghlj^, or buried in damp soil. ...
